A course by Belen Senra
Although Belén Senra started working in large multinationals as an interior designer, she currently travels the world as a nomadic textile artist, learning all kinds of artisan techniques of textile decoration. These trips help her get inspired and create new collections based on the culture and tradition of the places she visits.
He has founded his own brand, RanRan Design, which focuses on the creation of textile decorations mixing the traditional and the contemporary, having the opportunity to work on projects for both private residences and hotel and restaurant facilities, among which are the Novu Hotel Robert de Niro or the Aguas de Ibiza spa, among many others.
